Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 90 - 116; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 80 - 96; Vértebra: 50 - 54. Dorsal origin above middle of upper eye. Caudal imperfectly rounded.

Adults occur on mud bottom (Ref. 2850). They move into deep water in winter (Ref. 2850). Produce large amounts of slime which may cover other fishes when caught in trawls (Ref. 4925). Marketed as mink food (Ref. 4925) or as fillet (Ref. 2850).
